The BLTS Archive - Savoir-Faire by RvrendJim (rvrendjim@aol.com) -- Star Trek and all related characters are the property of Paramount/Viacom. --- Kathryn Janeway pinched the bridge of her nose and massaged gently, a blatantly ineffective attempt to evict the dull ache that had taken up residence somewhere behind her eyes. The throbbing pain slowly spread throughout her overworked body, twisting her shoulder muscles into knots, making her joints cry out in supplication... pleading helplessly for an end to the punishment a long day had inflicted. Monthly reports littered her ready-room desk; engineering... stellar cartography... security... mess hall... Stacks and stacks of data padds demanded her attention, begging but a few moments of her precious time for acknowledgment... approval. The captain sighed wearily, taking a sip of lukewarm coffee that had about as much impact on her sour mood as her ill fated massage. Paperwork. So much of her time was consumed with paperwork. Years ago -more than she cared to acknowledge- when Admiral Paris had first suggested she redirect her career track with an eye toward command, he had neglected to mention how many of her days would be spent sitting behind a desk going over progress reports. And it was probably just as well, Kathryn supposed wistfully. One glimpse at the workload that would await her and she would have stuck with the sciences, destined to spend the rest of her days a junior officer... not an unpleasant fate, true, but one that held less appeal now that she had gotten a taste of command. Of course... had she stuck with science, she never would have met B'Elanna Torres. A welcome smile played across Kathryn's lips, lifting her spirits for the first time all day. The familiar warmth of contentment she had come to know and cherish washed over her, a gentle wave of relief... passion... hunger... desire... a myriad of feelings, all rolled into one neatly wrapped Klingon package. Her need for B'Elanna was absolute... and nearly overwhelming. There were times -late at the night when the burdens of command kept her awake- that she would prop herself up and just stare at B'Elanna, stroking her hair... caressing her cheek... sighing quietly while she admired the way the starlight played across those human/Klingon features. Looking down upon that sleeping face could make even the most dire of problems disappear in a puff of smoke. Kathryn tossed aside the padd in her hand. The reports could wait. There was nothing in them so pressing that she couldn't put off working on them until tomorrow. She pushed herself up from her desk, crossing the room in only a few strides, barely giving the doors enough time to open before brusquely moving past them. No one on the bridge paid her much more than a passing glance as she made her way to the turbolift and stepped inside. It seemed like forever before she was crossing the threshold into her quarters. Kathryn sensed something was different before she actually became consciously aware of it. The lights had been dimmed to half illumination, casting a pleasant shadow across the room. In the air was the faintest whiff of incense... just a touch... delicate, sensual... like a feather, teasing her... ticking her. Music, unfamiliar though lovely, played softly overheard. "B'Elanna?" Kathryn called. The briefest moment came and went before a sweet and tender voice called to her from the bedroom. "I'll be out in a minute, hon. Just pour yourself a glass of wine and have a seat." "Can I have *your* seat?" Kathryn teased. A giggle wafted into the living room. "Maybe. If you're good. Just pour the wine, would you? I have a little surprise for you." "Huzzah, " Kathryn smiled. She turned, getting her bearings, and found a bottle of wine chilling in a bucket on the table. A single long stemmed crystal wine glass sat beside it. Kathryn lifted her eyebrows in thoughtful surprise. Just one glass? Wasn't B'Elanna going to join her? Maybe her fiendish Klingon lover planned to get her drunk, then have her way with her. Fine by me, Kathryn smirked. She opened the bottle of wine, an exotic alien brew they'd finagled from a passing merchant ship, and poured herself a generous amount before retreating to her favorite chair with a sigh. She kicked off her boots, resting stockinged feet on their newly acquired glass cocktail table. It had taken time, but slowly what had once been her quarters had been transformed into *their* quarters. The changes were subtle, one piece at a time... a picture, a vase, an out of control potted plant nestled in the corner looking diffident and in need of water. Slowly... steadily... the transformation had taken place, two women so used to living alone finding common ground and making a home together on a ship soaring through the uncharted spatial waters of the Delta Quadrant. It was perfect. "Hello... Kathryn... " Kathryn looked up, gasping... nearly choking on a mouthful of wine. B'Elanna was standing in the doorway, clothed only in a red silk kimono fastened loosely around her midsection with a wide, black sash. It was open slightly, revealing a scandalous glimpse of bare breast. The garment -obviously new, since Kathryn had never before lain eyes on it and surely would have remembered if she had- was cut short, almost comically so, and whenever B'Elanna lifted her arms the skimpy red fabric would hike up past her waist to expose the thick patch of hair between her legs, a furry mound that Kathryn now saw was neatly trimmed into a perfect triangle. Kathryn swallowed hard, taking a generous sip of wine to calm herself. B'Elanna smiled then, obviously pleased with the reaction her appearance had elicited. She moved closer... slowly, ever so slowly.. closer... closer... hips swaying in the most delectable way imaginable. Kathryn felt her pulse quicken... heart thumping against the wall of her chest. Warmth suffused her, blushing her cheeks, making the hair on her neck and arms -and some other places, too- stand up on end as if coming to attention. She could feel B'Elanna's heat even at a distance, radiating like the heat of million suns... the fire burning out of control, beckoning her closer... a moth to a flame... Kathryn nearly jumped from her seat when she felt B'Elanna's hand on her shoulder... settling down again when B'Elanna planted that shapely backside in her lap. Arms encircled her neck, firm and reassuring, an embrace Kathryn had no difficulty melting into as B'Elanna bent down to kiss her. Their lips met of their own volition, gently at first... then with more hunger, parting slightly... opening wider, much wider, devouring one another with ravenous hunger... slowly, languidly, the intensity building to a frenzied crescendo until a whimper of astonishment escaped Kathryn's lips. Still clutching her wine glass in disbelief, Kathryn eased her free hand inside B'Elanna's kimono, pushing aside the sheer fabric to cup a breast. The flesh was warm... familiar... soft and delicate, and, she knew from experience, quite delicious. She massaged the supple mound of flesh, squeezing playfully as her fingers rolled a shriveled nipple to stiff erection. B'Elanna moaned, a sound so exquisite that Kathryn nearly burst into tears. She kissed her way down B'Elanna's face, wanting to hear more... needing to hear more. Kathryn licked and nipped B'Elanna's lips... her chin... her neck... sucking playfully on the soft skin of the other woman's throat as she continued to knead B'Elanna's ample bosom with the butt of her palm. B'Elanna fidgeted restlessly in her lap, the sounds she made growing more urgent... desperate, the wanting... the needing... the yearning... out of control, spiraling downward... downward... Kathryn gave a muffled cry when B'Elanna pulled back, her breathing ragged... her face flushed with arousal. B'Elanna neatly plucked the wine glass from her hand, raising it to wet and slightly swollen lips where it rested for the briefest of moments while she swirled her tongue around the rim. She drank slowly, deliberately, not a single movement wasted. Kathryn took advantage of the moment, slowly bringing her other hand -once encumbered, now free to explore that glorious body- to a rest between B'Elanna's legs, her fingers quickly tangled in the furry growth she found there. Her touch made B'Elanna whimper once more. Shifting her weight slightly, B'Elanna put the glass to Kathryn lips... an offer Kathryn eagerly accepted. She downed what little wine was left, her eyes never straying from B'Elanna's steely gaze... her hand never straying from B'Elanna's hot, wet sex. B'Elanna eased herself out of the embrace, rolling to her feet with the grace of a ballerina. Kathryn resisted the urge to pout as she watched B'Elanna set the wine glass down on the table. B'Elanna turned to face her again, a smile creeping onto her lips. Kathryn licked her own lips, practically giddy with anticipation. Slowly... god, she moved so slowly!... B'Elanna undid the sash around her middle, pulling it free completely. She gingerly slid the kimono off her shoulders, letting the red fabric pool around her feet. The sash was still in her hand. Kathryn kept an eye on the sash for the longest time... head spinning from a mixture of arousal and wine and B'Elanna's discernible musk. B'Elanna grabbed the ends of the sash, holding it taut. She rubbed it across her breasts, teasing the rock-hard nipples for Kathryn's entertainment... and Kathryn was loving ever minute of it, watching the show unfold before her through a lustful haze. B'Elanna slid the black silk sash across her body with a back and forth motion, dragging the lucky piece of fabric across her thighs... up her midriff.. then across her breasts again. . Kathryn caught B'Elanna's gaze and held it, knowing what would happen next... wanting so very badly for it to happen. B'Elanna casually eased the sash between her legs, flossing her crotch until the sash was visibly damp with her wetness. Back and forth... back and forth... working it deeper and deeper... B'Elanna cried softly, the sheer fabric rubbing against her sensitive clit. Back and forth... back and forth... getting closer and closer, wetter and wetter... B'Elanna slowly turned around, throwing a glance over her shoulder so she could watch Kathryn watching as the sash disappeared in the cleft of her buttocks. Kathryn writhed in her seat. It was madness... absolute torture. She could feel the pressure mounting up inside her, heavy against her mons... making her light headed, dizzy with passion. Each moment she was denied release pushed her closer and closer to the breaking point. Nervous hands strayed dangerously close to her crotch, shaking visibly as she longed to touch herself... longed to have B'Elanna touch her. B'Elanna caught sight of her and flashed an admonishing glance in her direction. Stopping the previous activities, B'Elanna moved closer... closer... then behind her, dragging the sash across her face. Kathryn inhaled deeply, savoring the pungent aroma she so longed to taste on her lips. The familiar scent made her nostrils flare with arousal, stoking the passion that had already been enflamed within her. Her entire body cried out with longing... needing so desperately to feel B'Elanna's naked flesh against her own. So overwhelmed with need, Kathryn didn't even suspect that B'Elanna intended to use the sash as a blindfold until the darkness enveloped her. Kathryn tensed for the briefest of moments before some inner voice told her what was happening. She sighed, muscles relaxing, the feel of the wet fabric making her dizzy... the smell intoxicating.. the darkness oddly comforting. B'Elanna pulled the sash tight around her eyes, not allowing what little light there was to seep inside. Kathryn gave a hitched breath, squinting against the darkness until she was accustomed to the sensation. Hands grasped hers, pulling her to her feet. Kathryn complied without hesitation, letting B'Elanna lead her -presumably- to the bedroom. She counted the steps... one after the other... though B'Elanna could be leading her in circles for all she knew. It didn't matter. Her trust in B'Elanna Torres was unconditional. B'Elanna tugged her hands gently and Kathryn knew she meant for her to stop, which she did. In the darkness, Kathryn was keenly ware of her labored breathing; the sound filled her ears, heavy and ominous... as if it belonged to someone else, someone leaning over her shoulder to whisper in her ear. It was frightening and exhilarating all at the same time. Kathryn felt B'Elanna near... moving behind her. She felt and heard B'Elanna unzipping her uniform jacket. Kathryn struggled for calm as B'Elanna undressed her, first removing her jacket, then lifting her tank top over her head... carefully, ever so carefully, ensuring that the blindfold stayed in place. Her bra was lost in short order. B'Elanna urged her down and back with a insistent but loving hand. Kathryn felt the firm edge of the mattress behind her knees and sat, feeling her legs being lifted as B'Elanna removed her socks... then her trousers, then... at long last... her panties. B'Elanna pushed her to lie flat on the mattress and Kathryn gave herself willingly, letting B'Elanna love her. Ensconced in darkness, Kathryn could feel her senses heightened. Touch... smell... hearing... everything seemed amplified, though whether it was some biological wonder or a figment of her imagination was unclear. It hardly mattered; the effect was no less potent. A wisp of cool air breezed against her sex, making her shudder with pleasure. Kathryn spread her legs wide in response, all but begging for more. She sensed B'Elanna standing next to the bed, could feel her heat... smell her musk... Gods! It was making her crazy! Her entire being cried out to be touched! Loved! Caressed! When B'Elanna dragged the tip of a nimble finger down her chest, Kathryn cried out... arching her back in response to the jolt that shot through her body. It was the most amazing sensation she had ever known. So soft. So delicate. And yet she could feel it all over! It made her toes curl upwards in protest! B'Elanna circled her breasts in a lazy figure eight before sliding a finger down her cleavage. Kathryn moaned deep in her throat. Her skin was on fire, tingling all over. Down... down... B'Elanna's finger roamed her body, zigzagging across her midriff... past her waist... across her inner thigh... barely touching, drawing teeny tiny circles against her skin with just the tip of her finger. Down... down... Kathryn giggled like a small child when B'Elanna tickled her foot, her very grown-up body jerking uncontrollably to this latest treat. It was wonderful! She thought she heard B'Elanna laugh too... a Klingon laugh, part growl... thick with arousal... low, deep in the throat. The sound was familiar...and it made Kathryn shudder once again. The feeling stopped. Kathryn caught a ragged breath, found herself gasping. A rustle of movement nearby... B'Elanna wasn't gone, Kathryn could still feel her presence... close by... so very close by. Something light and delicate graced her skin, tickling her even more, and it took Kathryn a moment to place it... and when she did, a smile played across her lips. A feather. It was a feather, soft and gentle, the tiny little tendrils teasing her inner thigh. B'Elanna ran the feather up the inside of one leg and down the other, then repeated the movements... slowly, always moving slowly, dragging it back and forth... back and forth... up and down... up and down. The feather brushed against her sex and Kathryn whimpered pitifully, needing so much to be touched down there. B'Elanna raked the feather across her mound, teasing her... *torturing* her. How could she be so cruel! B'Elanna retraced the path her finger had taken, using the feather now... trailing up Kathryn's midriff, teasing her straining nipples. The feelings was glorious and Kathryn wanted it to last forever. Back and forth against her nipples, one then the other, teasing her playfully. B'Elanna was meticulous... Kathryn insatiable, the passion between them burning out of control. B'Elanna pulled away again and Kathryn held her breath, feeling beads of sweat trickling down her face. She was aware of heavy breathing... her own, certainly, and B'Elanna's.. near... very near... so close that Kathryn could feel the warmth of her breath, could smell the fruity bouquet of wine still on her lips. When those lips at long last pressed against her bare skin -upon her chest, at the point where her cleavage began- Kathryn gasped sharply, drawing a lungful of air between pursed lips. Heat... intense, crackling heat surged through her body causing her to moan loudly. Her insides went liquid, her body quaking with desire as a swirling tongue snaked its way between her breasts. In an instant, Kathryn was aware of B'Elanna's weight on top of her, naked flesh against naked flesh, wetness touching wetness, lips finding lips... mouths devouring each other hungrily. Kathryn reached for her delectable Klingon lover, sliding eager hands down B'Elanna's muscular back, finding her buttocks and squeezing them. B'Elanna moaned between passionate kisses, a sound that deepened when Kathryn ran the tips of her fingers up and down the cleft of those same buttocks she had groped for in the artificial darkness. B'Elanna snaked her way down Kathryn's sweaty body, kissing... always kissing, leaving a trail of fire and Klingon spittle in her wake. Kathryn mewed with desire, wordlessly begging for more. Every touch of those soft lips against her bare skin made her sigh in pleasure and she never wanted the madness to end. B'Elanna kissed and nibbled a languid trail down her front side, licking her throat... tasting her shoulder... moving down... slowly moving down... always on the move down... B'Elanna found a breast and devoured it, her darting tongue teasing the already stiffened nipple. Kathryn arched her back to push more of herself into B'Elanna's mouth, groaning in near anguish so great was her need. B'Elanna gobbled her up, eager mouth taking in as much as it could. She moved slowly from one breast to the other, slobbering all over them, making sure that whichever one wasn't being sucked on saw an intense fondling from capable Klingon hands. Kathryn gasped and sighed with every touch, her own hands tracing the outlines of the flexing muscles down B'Elanna's back and shoulders. Lost in darkness, Kathryn pictured the beauty of that naked body in her mind's eyes... the subtle grace of their lines, the way those muscles rippled... Kathryn cried out sharply, a mixture of pain and pleasure as B'Elanna nibbled and sucked her nipples... nipples so hard it almost hurt. B'Elanna clearly had no intention of showing even the least bit of leniency, ravishing her breasts with a voracious hunger. Kathryn gave herself to the wicked treatment... loving every blessed minute of it. Her loins ached with the need for release, her body trembling with pent-up energy. And still B'Elanna continued to suckle her breasts, lapping at her teats like a newborn. Kathryn rolled her head back against the pillow, her head swimming in the delight that was B'Elanna Torres. She was wonderful... wonderful! Kathryn was in love with everything about her, and she wanted B'Elanna so badly... so very, very badly. So lost in the wanting was Kathryn that when B'Elanna began kissing her tummy, determinedly moving downward, Kathryn was only dimly aware of it at first... then came the startling realization and her legs turned to rubber, her voice cracking as lips moved closer... ever closer... to the searing heat between her legs. Kathryn gasped for air, stealing a quick breath and holding it. Closer... closer... B'Elanna's lips mover oh so close... along her waist, across her inner thigh... Closer... closer... Kathryn bucked violently the moment B'Elanna entered her, crying out... not a word... nothing intelligible... just a wail of agony. B'Elanna swirled that agile tongue past the puffy red folds of her sex, the netherlips swollen with desire. B'Elanna licked up and down the length of her slit, kissing and nibbling everything she found there. Kathryn found herself rising off the bed, and it was only B'Elanna's determination that kept her in place... that, and strong hands ensuring that her throbbing clitoris remained within reach of a hungry Klingon mouth. The ravishment was thorough, prolonged yet incessant. Kathryn squealed helplessly as B'Elanna lapped hungrily... wildly... *ferociously*... at the folds of her sex. B'Elanna grunted with effort, the air tinged with the sound of that adorable face slapping against the wetness of Kathryn's sex. Kathryn lifted her hips to meet ever jab of that agile tongue, thrusting herself forward until she was sure B'Elanna was smothered in love juice. The Klingon's only response was to push her face even deeper, the ridges of her forehead teasing Kathryn's clit in the most delicious way. Kathryn reached down to rake her fingers through B'Elanna's silky black hair, grasping on for dear life as B'Elanna continued her assault without mercy. Time lost all meaning for Kathryn Janeway. She was sure of nothing... nothing but the pleasure B'Elanna was giving her. Words escaped her lips... though she couldn't swear to anything she said. Sounds of passion... cries and whoops, whimpers and sighs... all passed her lips more times than she could remember. The surge began slowly... a small spark, ignited deep with her soul, fanning outward... growing, slowly growing... the flames engulfing her, making her insides flutter. Her body tensed then began to shake... trembling gently, then more violently... the heat so intense.. burning... searing... unbearable... Gods, so unbearable. Intense white light invaded the darkness... a blinding flash existing only in her mind, and Kathryn somehow knew that the howling scream that pierced her ears came from her own lips just as surely as she knew that B'Elanna had seized her engorged clit between her lips and was sucking on it. Kathryn shrieked from the depths of her soul. The pleasure ripped through her body, a pleasure so pronounced that it left her mumbling incoherently in its wake, body shaking... mind reeling... skin tingling... heart pounding... wave after wave of pleasure washed over her until she sagged back against the mattress with a final gasp of astonishment. Hands touched her face, lifting the blindfold from her eyes. Kathryn squinted against the brightness -real, not imagined- and found herself staring at the most beautiful face in the universe. B'Elanna smiled back at her, bending down to kiss her once again. Kathryn savored the intoxicating blend of herself and wine and natural Klingon sweetness, her questing tongue easing across B'Elanna's lips even as her body continued to tremble with the last stirrings of orgasm. She took B'Elanna into her arms, holding her close, loving the feel of B'Elanna's head pillowed against her shoulder. Kathryn held her that way for the longest time, stroking and caressing her, hands cupping her damp mound until B'Elanna was purring like a kitten in her arms. "How is it, " Kathryn murmured, one hand stroking B'Elanna's cheek the other stroking B'Elanna's sex, "that you always seem to know what I want... and when I want it? Sometimes even before I know." B'Elanna shrugged her slim shoulders, moaning softly under Kathryn's gentle ministrations. "Maybe true love empowers you with some kind of clairvoyance." "You think so?" Kathryn asked. "Maybe, " B'Elanna sighed. "Oh... Kathryn... do you know what I want?" "Mmm-hmm, " Kathryn smiled. She rolled B'Elanna onto her back, gathering up her wrists in one hand and lifting them over her head. Kathryn took the sash that had been a blindfold and secured B'Elanna's wrists, tying them to the headboard. B'Elanna's eyes flared with arousal and Kathryn laughed. "Yes?" Kathryn asked. B'Elanna nodded. "Oh... yes... You must have read my mind." --- The End
